Matamune

マタムネ

Matamune is a character in the Shaman King manga. He appears in volumes 19 and 20 but is absent from the Shaman King anime. Matamune is a Nekomata, a two-tailed cat spirit; he carries a pipe and wears a necklace with three bear claws (which later comes into Yoh Asakura's possession). He has served the Asakura family for a millennium, though he spends much of his time traveling the world. He claims to have seen everything and is almost constantly reading books.
